[Bug] Network Request Failed

[marco-studer-srf]

I cannot log in using the mobile app. URL is correct.

Could it be that you cannot handle passwords with ridiculous length and number of special characters?

[MohamedBassem]

No this is unlikely to be a password issue. This is usually the server address being unreachable from the phone or incorrectly setup (e.g invalid certs).
Can you tell us if you're using http/https, is Hoarder behind a reverse proxy? Any special setup there?

[marco-studer-srf]

The server is behind traefik reverse proxy. The server is using https with a self-signed certificate. The root certificate is added as CA on the phone. Could this be a problem?

Hi
I'm having the same issue. I installed hoarder on oracle free tier. All went ok.
I installed the app on Android and it's working good.
Now I installed on iphone, made a new user thought the web browser on the iphone, inputted the same details on the app and i get network request failed. I tried on the wifi and 5g, both fail. Im using http

Having the same issue with Android,
It is behind a nginx reverse proxy.

Extension access and Direct Access are functioning well, just mobile makes the problem.

I'll release a hoarder mobile update soon that hopefully can help us debug those network connection issues and show exactly the kind of errors that are being reported.

[MohamedBassem]

I've sent (3452e47) to add a new "Test connection" page to debug server connection issue. I hope this help figure out why the app is not working for you. I've submitted this to apple/google for review, should hopefully be available for download by Monday.

Running connection test ...
Using address: https://xxx
Network connection failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.

Okay, it seems to be the certificate. However, I added the certificates to the root certificates of the phone. Accessing Hoarder via browser on the phone is working.

[MohamedBassem]

@marco-studer-srf Glad to see the new connection debugging thing being useful! Let's change the issue title to be about self signed certs then. I'll check if there's any configuration I need to pass to the app manifest so that it can pick up all of your trusted certs (most likely over the weekend).

I am experiencing this issue using http - I get the same error

Network connection failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.

Except that I'm using http specifically, and the debug output indicates this.

Is the app trying to upgrade to an https connection?

If so - then I'm hitting the same self signed cert error - however I do not wish to add this cert to the root certificates of my phone.

Can there be an option to allow self signed certs?

[marco-studer-srf]

@MohamedBassem In one of my own projects, I happened to face the same issue. Adding the following network security config to the application makes it accept user-added CAs. It also allows cleartext traffic (http), since self-hosters will usually go one of these two ways.

In res/xml/network_security_config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <base-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <trust-anchors>
            <certificates src="system" />
            <certificates src="user" /> <!-- this is the part that makes it work -->
        </trust-anchors>
    </base-config>
</network-security-config>

And in your manifest, add:

android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config"
android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"

Bro where to add what ...please explain a little more

[MohamedBassem]

@Raizel-thebloodstorm this is going to be fixed in the next mobile app release. You won't be able to fix it yourself.

I had the same problem, i solved it just by adding the https:// and then it worked
